Spanish ports see container growth as transshipment shifts from Suez

Spanish ports handled an aggregated 18.1 million TEUs in the first nine months of 2024, translating to a growth rate of 11% year-on-year.

There were significant increases in the hubs of Barcelona and Valencia, according to the latest DynaLiners report, which is presumably caused by box lines using them for transshipment volumes that would otherwise have gone through the Suez Canal.

It is noteworthy that volumes at Algeciras dropped by 1% to 4.7 million TEU, whilst its neighbour across the Gibraltar strait, Morocco’s port of Tangier, saw container growth of 19%, exceeding 10 million TEUs.
